Electrons in correlated insulators are prevented from conducting by Coulomb repulsion between them. When an insulator-to-metal transition is induced a insulator doping or heating, the resulting state can be radically different that characterized free electrons conventional metals.

In femtosecond pump-probe measurements, the appearance of coherent phonon oscillations at 4.5 and 6.0 THz indicating rutile metal phase VO2 does not occur simultaneously with first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) near 68 degrees C. The monoclinic correlated (MCM) between MIT structural (SPT) is generated by a photoassisted hole excitation, which evidence Mott transition. SPT MCM occurs due to subsequent Joule heating. can be regarded as an intermediate nonequilibrium state.
